Summary

It is demonstrated that a reduced PDE3/PDE4 activity ratio in synthetic VSMC correlates with a reducedPDE3 activity and is associated with marked reductions in PDE2A mRNA and protein levels, and this phenomenon associates with the phenotypic switch that occurs to VSMC in response to vascular damage.
